An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound with a velocity equal to one-fifth of the velocity of sound. The percentage change in the frequency will be \(\dots \;\)%
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(20\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(f_{0}=\left(\frac{v+v_{0}}{v}\right) f_{s}\)
\(f_{0}=\left(\frac{v+\frac{v}{5}}{v}\right) f_{s}\)
\(f_{0}=\frac{6}{5} f_{s}\)
\(\%\) change \(=\frac{f_{0}-f_{s}}{f_{s}} \times 100\)
\(=\frac{1}{5} \times 100=20 \%\)
